"To those who so staunchly support the UN resolutions when speaking against Israel, where are you now?
Why aren't you screaming to have Hezbollah disarmed?"

Nobodies screaming but i support this UN resolution...
Are you willing to support all the UN resolutions on Palestine too or are you just cherry picking?

Adam:

You don't support the UN. Your just in support of this resolution. If the US had stayed out of the affairs of Lebanon in the past perhaps the people of Lebanon could have solved their own problems by now.

<Now they've started a coup against their own government. >

You don't know who started these latest problems but it seems from the reporting I've heard it was government actions. So either give us support for your statement or stop making judgmental statements.

in re the question where's the UN now, i preface with where was the UN then? i refer to its founding 63 years ago..signed 26 june 1945 in san francisco: the charter of the United Nations . . chapter 1 item 7. . "Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter" . .further on, intervention measures are discussed as verbal denouncements, embargos, blockades, interruption of communications, etc. . . again, between nations, not within a country. . and physical intervention is mentioned in line with relief for victims, not with armed warriors . . the nascent UN's intent was social, political intervention between states, not physical oversight within a state. Now, what is the UN doing now? ..Current action: 2 May 2008 – The Middle East diplomatic Quartet, which includes the United Nations, today expressed its strong support for ongoing Israeli-Palestinian negotiations aimed at reaching a settlement by the end of 2008 that will lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state in West Bank and the Gaza Strip and an end to the long-running conflict. . . Quartet members voiced deep concern at Israel's continued settlement activity and called on the country to freeze all such activity, including natural growth, and to dismantle outposts erected since March 2001. They also called on the Palestinian Authority to fulfill its commitments to fight terrorism and to accelerate measures to rebuild and restructure its security apparatus. Condemning the ongoing rocket attacks from Gaza into southern Israel, and the terrorist attack on a Jerusalem seminary on 6 March, as well as recent Palestinian civilian casualties, the statement called for an end to violence and terror and urged both sides “to take all feasible steps to ensure the protection of affected civilians.” . . Chaired by the Secretary-General other participants were the Russian Foreign Minister, US Secretary of State, High Representative for European Common Foreign & Security Policy, European Commissioner for External Relations, and the Foreign Minister of Slovenia, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency...............the problems in the mid east are complex, convoluted, hot, old, volatile, dangerous to those living there and dangerous to us living here. I really have no deep knowledge of the UN or the Mid East conundrum; the above info is from the UN website, where I went to see if my 45-yr-old memory of the UN mission statement learned in social studies was correct. [good memory, Bev! Now where did you put your keys?] - anyway - of course i have opinions, but if i just shout them in the faces of others and they shout theirs in my face, we end up with ringing ears and spit on our faces at best, or bloody faces and bullet holes at worst. or in the case of mother earth, a big ole nuclear zit to contend with.. the UN, from my understanding, has many flaws, but what do we disparate nations have to talk to each other through without it? but adam, what do YOU think the UN should do right now?
